The Dzire is now the fourth model from the automaker to reach this production milestone, joining the Alto, Swift, and Wagon R.

Maruti recently said that, for its Manesar factory, it had achieved a manufacturing milestone of 20 lakh units in 2024. The Maruti Dzire has already surpassed the production milestone of 30 lakh units since its launch in March 2008, suggesting that the automaker is on a roll. This is a thorough analysis of how long it took the well-liked subcompact vehicle to accomplish this feat.

According to the table, it took the Dzire more than seven years to achieve the first significant production milestone of 10 lakh units since its debut. The automaker then produced an additional 10 lakh automobiles over four years, and in five more years, it produced the next 10 lakh Dzire models. This indicates that it took the automaker more than 16 years in total to attain the output milestone of 30 lakh. In FY 2023–2024, the Dzire was also Maruti Suzuki’s second-highest exporting model.

Notably, the production milestones of 30 lakh have already been reached by the Maruti Alto, Swift, and Wagon R. In April 2024, Maruti also announced that it has achieved the significant milestone of producing over 3 crore automobiles overall.

A 9-inch touchscreen, auto air conditioning with rear vents, a wireless phone charger, and a segment-first single-pane sunroof are among its highlights. With a 5-star Global NCAP crash rating and basic six airbags as well as a 360-degree camera, its safety package is likewise strong.
